Re: Ft-817-MP1 / W3FF Tests
There you go again Pres, being both right and wrong at the same time. :-) Your right in that I should have said WWV. However, WWVB is alive and well, and is the 60 kHz station that is still in

Re: Ft-817-MP1 / W3FF Tests
Right frequency, wrong call. WWVB is going strong (or, not as strong as normal) on 60 kHz, WWVL was on 20 kHz but went silent in July 1972 according to the WWVB history page....

Re: Ft-817-MP1 / W3FF Tests
It's a tiny nit to pick, but you mean WWV at 5, 10, 15 and maybe 20MHz, and WWVH in Hawaii on similar frequencies. WWVL is the VLF emitter at 60KHz WWVB is defunct IF I recall correctly Thanks Pres

Re: Battery compartment
But you can get 5W out using the existing 9.6V pack if you want to. The problem is charge capacity (which is why the 817 defaults to 2.5W when running on batteries) not voltage. Julian, G4ILO

Re: Battery compartment
You CAN have 5w with 9.6v... for a shorter time. Set the power to where the icon FLASHES... that's the higher-than-high power setting of 5w on internal batteries Thanks Pres Waterman W2PW c/o

Re: Battery compartment
Frank, The 817 can run at 5W on internal 9.6 V battery. The default is 2.5, but you can get 5W by just selecting it. You'll get the flashing power symbol. The charger is fixed at either trickle or
